No more fears, only flying No more heartache, no more fighting  RECAP
Varus failed to get the booty:"Let me show you," it was a soft request, not demanding like other thing he had asked of her. A leaning closer, brush of lips, hands gentle in her hair. "Fuck off." She said monotone.Might have had do do with him doing it wrong:"Because little one arm is just so useful that people can't help but love her, of course, I should have known, after all so many lay down their lives for you, don't they, like The Hera?" His voice took on a silky tone, and his hands relaxed around her throat.Annette looked at the Corporals face allowing all of her will to flow out of her. /It was all of my fault?/ Annette relaxed helplessly, she wanted to cry, but no tears would rise. "Don't you see how much I must love you to keep you around despite your mistakes? Despite your faults?"Varus got dickpunched by a priest, so he kicked everyone out of the treehouse, :There was an eerie silence in the room as Varus picked himself up, dusting his sleeves, a look of restrained rage in his eyes. "Finely, choose now, you can follow this whore off the ship, or you can stay here with me, I'm being very generous in giving you a choice after that."Valentina's dark eyes widened, "You can't- she's still in critical condition!"But then he did get the booty:The door was opened tentatively, just a crack, so that Elsbeth's blue eye could peek into the room. A hand clasped around her wrist, pulling her in and slamming her against the door, knocking the breath out of her. She vaguely registered the click of a lock, trying to catch her breath and come to terms with the fact that, yes, it was her idol- the war hero and inventor, that was bodily pressing her into a door."Oh." Was the only sound she managed to get out before he shut her up with his own mouth. She melted against the door, /ohhh/.And then he failed again"Hey, any chance you'd let me get you dinner while we're grounded?" He was leaning on the redhead's desk now, "No touching, I promise, just food.""Sorry, I'm meeting some family when we land."Harvey and Annette were bros"Oh is that so? I would have never guessed." Her voice dropped a little lower, into a sort of growl. Harvey squeezed her hand, sending her gaze to the eyes above her filled with fear. She smiled at her brother, and replied to his hand squeeze before looking at the cool face of the corporal. A small amount of something in his eyes, was that... /Jealousy?/Someone was afraid to ask for directions:The space where they entered appeared to be an abandoned factory, torches hung, covered by bright, colored paper, some had designs inked onto them. There were bright cloths and loud music and people with metal in their ears and around their necks. A woman with thick, curly black hair and a long, richly purple skirt danced in spirals with a small drum in her hands. Harvey gave Mr. Short and Angry a boner with his hair:His head had tilted back and let out pearls of exhausted laughter, hair red and bright and shimmery like the fire gypsies danced with in Italy. Was it weird to wish you could press and dry a smile like he did flowers when he was little? Boner guy is named Jack. | |

SKIP FORWARD A FEW HOURS
Harvey layed in his new bed, staring up at the ceiling with a blank stare. No way could he get to sleep now, not when a close of his eyes brought images of blue and brown eyes, shining in the dim light of a hundred lanterns, soft but with an eternal cavern straight into his soul. This was the first time he had ever seen someones soul in their eyes, and Harvey liked it. If he could, he would have stayed there looking straight into them for hours on end. He wanted to so badly... Jack huh...
RIley had made sure his room was close to hers, just in case something happened, like a fire (god forbid) and he needed to go and help her. He sat upright with his back against the wall. It wasn't the greatest accomdoations, but it was so much better than the streets he was born onto. He sighed before laying down face first onto his small cot. He closed his eyes, letting the dim room turn black.
He heard a muffled voice through the wall, it sounded so upset, so hurt, so... Annette? He put his ear against the wall and he could hear the tired sobs leaking through the thin walls. He bursted out of his room and immediately headed towards the room in which the quiet cries could be heard. He slowly opened the door to a dark room, only lit by the moonlight through a small window.
"Annette?" He whispered, but no responce was heard, just a high whine like a child coming from the small ginger. He walked over to her, and grabbed the hand peaking out from the rough woolen blanket she had been giving. "Its okay Annette, Its all okay." he whispered. He repeated this until the soft whimpers faded, and her body relaxed. "I'm not going to leave you, okay? Everything will be fine." He sat there against the wall, her small hand in his, until his own body fell into sleep.

"...Taylor-"
"I- I know Tina."
"God damn it- I, you told me it had stopped! You told me!"
"... I couldn't stand to see you so upset over it-"
"That's not how this works, you can't just- you can't keep something like, like that!"
She stood in the doorway, not having moved from when she opened it, eyes fixed on the once-white handkerchief in his hand, splatters of scarlet across it, hands shaking. "Is everything, still going on?"
"Tina..."
"Taylor."
"Y-yes."
"Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped, I could have-"
"No. Tina, that's not how it works." The cloth was on the floor now, thrown with such a force that it splattered red in an arc on the floor. "No one can control it, we wasted enough time on this- Emil keeps me out of things we know will cause it, I don't keep weapons on me, but there is no cure, there is nothing anyone can do for me."

"Annette wake up." She woke to a familiar hand on her shoulder, lightly shaking her awake. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, blinking the sleep from the green orbs.
"Riley?" She said taking his hand to get up. "What time is it?"
"You've been asleep for nearly 12 hours." He sighed. "I thought it was time to wake you up."
"Cant a girl ever sleep in." She whined.
"Yes, and you have. Now come on." He said pulling her out of the door.

"Taylor, there's a cure somewhere, there's always something."
"Don't."
"Don't what?!"
"Don't get my hopes up again, Tina, I can't do it over again."

"His room? I dont know."

"We just have to look harder!" Her eyes were desperate. "I thought I just got you back. You can't put me through this again."
"You, Tina? What I'm putting you through? You aren't even the one who's dying."
"Don't say that!" It was a shrill scream followed by a fist on the wall, a resonating bang. "You can't die Taylor, not you."

"Harvey!" Annette knocked on his door. "Time to wake up sunshine!"
The muffled screams of her newfound friends were heard down the hallway. She ran from the door and toward the cries of the voice she recognized as Valentina, with Riley in toe.

He stood and pushed past her, dropping the red stained cloth at her feet and marching away, heavily coughing into his arm.

She looked down at the cloth. Then to the people in the room. Annette stood in the door not able to move.

"It's nothing Annette, a nosebleed." Valentina said from her spot on the floor, a fake smile of reassurance her face.

"Okay." She said, walking over to help her up. She trusted Valentina, so why not believe her, despite the fact that the situation did not seem like a nosebleed at all.
"If is just a nosebleed he'll be fine." Harvey said quietly leaning in from the hallway, just now joining the conversation.

She nodded mutely, not moving from her spot on the ground. "He'll be fine- he's good at that, taking care of himself."

"Yes he will." Annette smiled as she bent down to grab her hand, helping the girl to her feet. "Now come on we have work to do."
"Yeah." She said softly.
The group walked down the hallway to Jack's throne room, making Harvey's heart beat at a faster tempo then before.

He lay on his back, as he had a tenancy to choose odd positions to sit in, ones that looks incredibly uncomfortable, but in reality weren't. There was a sphere of colored glass in his hand, stained bright red, which he devoutly refused to make the connection between Riley's hair, and the color.
He really didn't.
He shut his eyes- it was an old song, one who's original meaning had been long lost, but the tune caught in one's mind, resonating.
"Empress of fire,
Save us, everyone,
The nation reviles,
The course is but run,
And end has begun.
Empress of fire,
Believe in us all.
Embrace us with arms,
And dress us with swords,
And light up our hearts
With blood so bold."
